I has a business opportunity . . .

So what should I do here, guys? Should I photocopy my passport and bank records and fax? I should probably call him at that number right to make sure? It sounds pretty sweet though . . .

Actually you gotta be sure this guy is legit. Ask him to send a picture of himself on official ID. Then you'll continue dialogue with him.

(I've seen this carried so far as to getting the Nigerian guy to get a tattoo!)

I propose that you lead this guy on for as long as you possibly can.. The more time he spends screwing around with trying to get you to give him your account numbers, the less time he'll be bilking some old lady with an email PC out of her retirement money.

It's funny because a co-worker and I were just talking about this the other day.

My co-worker received the exact same thing you posted in 1996 and he saved the actual letter -- postmarked from Nigeria and all. I guess this has been going around even before Al Gore created the intarweb.

I love this video of Nigerians reenacting Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch as a result of a scam letter going to a scambaiter. The full explanation is at the beginning of the video.

I'd jump right on this before one of other millions of people who got this beat you to it.
